Donations for COVID-19 Nurses

YOUR Donations are Helping
2 Nurses and Staff!



The donations we received to supply a special day of coffee and donuts for Women 4 Women Networking Group member Susan Urban's daughter, nurses, and staff came in such abundance that we are now able to help 2 nurses and staff, the second being at Banner Estrella.

These nurses and staff are on the front lines for COVID-19, along with others. In many cases, they are the last person holding the hand of someone's loved one. 

Thank you, and please keep these people in your thoughts and prayers.
